Who We Are
A Different Approach to Metabolic Health
New Me Health β Center for Lifestyle Medicine is a trusted destination for transforming metabolic health and addressing chronic disease through the power of Lifestyle as Medicine.
We are San Antonio's first and only Lifestyle Medicine Center dedicated to reversing chronic disease using Lifestyle as Medicine.
Our work is built on a straightforward belief: people need more than information or another temporary plan. They need a clear understanding of what is affecting their health, a practical path forward and consistent support that helps them turn knowledge into sustainable daily action.
Traditional medical care remains essential. New Me Health complements that care by helping individuals examine and improve the everyday patterns that influence metabolic healthβincluding nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress, relationships and other lifestyle factors.
Our goal is not simply to help people manage numbers. It is to help them understand their health, build confidence and create habits that support a healthier life.
Β
Why We Exist
Chronic Disease Requires More Than Symptom Management Alone
For many people living with obesity, prediabetes, Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure or related metabolic conditions, healthcare can become a repeating cycle of appointments, laboratory tests, medication adjustments and continued worry.
These treatments may be necessary and important. However, people may still need practical guidance and structured support to address the daily factors contributing to their condition.
New Me Health was created to help bridge that gap.
We help participants better understand their health risks, recognize the patterns influencing their condition and take measurable action under physician guidance. Instead of relying on short-term motivation, we focus on developing realistic skills and sustainable habits that can continue beyond the programme itself.
Address root causesβnot symptom management alone.
20+ Years
Clinical Experience
Meet Our Founder
A Physician Who Walked the Path Himself
Dr. Bhoja R. Katipally
MD, MPH, FAAFP, DipABLM
Founder and Medical Director
20+ Years of Clinical Experience and Expertise in Lifestyle Medicine
Β
For nearly two decades, Dr. Bhoja Katipally cared for patients across family medicine, urgent care and a large university health system, where he also served as a Medical Director.
Throughout his clinical career, he repeatedly encountered patients living with obesity, Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and other chronic conditions. Many returned for additional appointments, medications, procedures or treatment adjustmentsβyet they were not necessarily experiencing better health or a better quality of life.
That experience led Dr. Katipally to look more deeply at the lifestyle-related drivers of chronic disease and the growing science of Lifestyle Medicine.
The realization also became personal.
Dr. Katipally began changing how he ate, moved, slept, managed stress and lived. Through those changes, he lost approximately 40 pounds, significantly improved his own health markers and rediscovered a level of energy and vitality he wanted his patients to experience as well.
His personal transformation reinforced an important truth: lasting change becomes more achievable when people understand why their health is changing, know what actions to take and receive the right clinical guidance and support.
That conviction became the foundation of New Me Health.
Today, Dr. Katipally combines his broad clinical experience with evidence-based Lifestyle Medicine to educate, guide and empower individuals who are ready to take an active role in changing the course of their health.

Our Approach
Medical Guidance. Personalized Insight. Practical Action.
New Me Health brings medical oversight, Lifestyle Medicine education and structured accountability together in one coordinated experience.
Physician-Led Care
Our approach is guided by a physician who understands both conventional medical care and evidence-based Lifestyle Medicine. Health conditions, risks and progress are considered within the appropriate clinical context.
Personalized Health Insight
We help participants understand their individual health information, lifestyle patterns, risks and goals so that their next steps are relevant and realistic—not based on a generic plan.
Root-Cause Focus
We examine the modifiable lifestyle factors that may be contributing to metabolic dysfunction while respecting the role of necessary medical care.
Structured Support
Education alone is rarely enough. Participants receive a clear framework, practical tools and continuing support designed to help them apply what they learn in daily life.
Measurable Progress
Where appropriate, progress may be followed through health indicators such as weight, blood sugar, blood pressure, energy, sleep and other clinically relevant measures.
Sustainable Change
The objective is not a temporary diet, a quick fix or an unrealistic routine. We focus on repeatable habits that can become part of a healthier way of living.
Our Signature Care Model
Intensive Therapeutic Lifestyle ChangeβDesigned for Real Life
At the center of our care model is a physician-led Intensive Therapeutic Lifestyle Change programme, also referred to as iTLC.
The programme brings evidence-based Lifestyle Medicine principles into a structured and supportive process. Participants learn how daily choices can affect metabolic health and how practical changes can be introduced progressively within the realities of work, family and personal responsibilities.
Depending on the individual's condition, needs and participation, the programme may help support improvements in:
Obesity and excess weight
Prediabetes and Type 2 diabetes
High blood pressure
High cholesterol
Insulin resistance
Fatty liver disease
Sleep apnea
Energy, sleep and overall metabolic health
Other lifestyle-related chronic conditions
In appropriate cases, participants may experience meaningful clinical improvement and reduced medication requirements. Any medication adjustment must be determined and supervised by the participant's qualified healthcare professional.
The aim is not perfection. It is informed, measurable and sustainable progress.
